News, events and assorted stuff
We have a winner for yesterday's mini-contest! Laurie found where "Tam" had typo'ed itself into "Tom." On page 115 of MLTF, it says "Tom had commissioned the doors from a local artist." I'll be sending Laurie a postcard-sized magnet of MLTF's cover. It works great as a fridge magnet. ; ) And since I just got them in, I'll send her a magnet of A&M's cover as well. Congrats, Laurie!!
I'd like to start having contests with giveaways; I think it'd be a lot of fun. But being new to all this, I'd love to hear your contest suggestions. Just respond to this blog or email me (lisa@lisashearin.com).
For those of you who are in the Raleigh/Durham area I'll be signing and reading and taking questions about Magic Lost, Trouble Found tonight at Barnes & Noble at The Streets at Southpoint in Durham beginning at 7:00 p.m. Joining me will be fantasy authors James Maxey (Bitterwood), Warren Rochelle (Harvest of Changlings and The Wild Boy), and Debra Killeen (An Unlikely Duke). If you can make it, I'd love to meet you, so please drop by and introduce yourself. It promises to be a fun evening. ; )
Feel free to ask me any specific questions on Tuesday and Wednesday's blogs on what's involved in the book editing process. I only covered the main points. I'd be glad to answer any questions you have. Don't be shy. Either respond to today's blog or email me.
Coming up tomorrow: When I'm on deadline and cooking dinners, I always make a double batch so I can freeze part of it. That way, Derek and I can have a good (but quick) meal when I need to get up to my office to work. So every Friday for the next month or so, I'll post "Recipes for feeding your family while you're on deadline." I'll post my favorites. And even if you're not a writer on deadline, having something that you can cook and freeze some for later is great time-saver. Tomorrow I'll give you my recipe for Cincinnati Chili -- or as Derek and I call it, Chocolate Chili. Yep, it's got chocolate in it, and it is gooooood. ; )
And of course, stop by on Saturday for the Saturday Fun Pic.
Have a good one!

Oh, dang it! I just found that page with the typo today. (Yep, 115) Unfortunately, I didn't have acess to a computer. Oh well, congrats Laurie!
Thank you, Kate. It was a stroke of luck. I turned to the page before and started reading and...Aha!
And thank you, Lisa. Oh wow. A twofer. :) Can't wait to see them.
For future contests, trivia questions from your stories might be fun. Like: What was Piaras' costume at the Goblin Ball? I know, too easy, but I'm sure there are more obscure details buried in the pages.
You're welcome, Laurie -- and cool contest idea. I definitely want to start doing more contests.
And Kate, since you were so busy, but made the effort to find the typo anyway, expect a consolation prize in the mail. ; )
WOW! Thank you, Lisa!
*HUGE grin*
I do try to take good care of my fans. ; )
I feel very loved! :)
Me, too. :)
